Show courtesy to the client, other trades, and coworkers. Defer jobsite questions to the project manager.

Everyone who comes into contact with clients and other trades in the course of their work must consider themselves a salesperson for their company.

Simple courtesy can pay off in cooperation between trades, and certainly can make a difference in the attitude of the client towards the workmanship and quality of service for which they are paying. This can mean referrals and repeat business.

A customer’s satisfaction means continued business and possible referrals. Listening to the clients' needs, working with the clients to satisfy those needs, and updating the clients on the status of their solution require highly developed customer service skills.

Each setup will require different equipment. Note the equipment needed for each job, and keep it in the job file. When you are picking up the equipment and assembling it for installation, a quick glance at the checklist will let you know everything is ready to go. If the installation is temporary, use the checklist during the strike to account for all the equipment.

Check the structure for vibrations by resting your hand on the beam or bar-joists. Sometimes the HVAC unit is mounted on the roof above, creating vibrations which will cause the image to appear unfocused.

When grouping cables together in a bundle, all cables should be intended for only one signal type. Generally, group cables according to these guidelines:

Microphone

Line and communication

Control and data

Loudspeaker

AC technical power

Video

RF

Best Practice

Consider color coding cable to help maintain separation when you are bundling cables. Color-coding requires stocking more cable, but it can speed things up with a big bundle. You should always label cables as well.

It is important to define the specific parts that you will be using and to use the parts that are defined. Include the following information:

Review the size and weight of what you will be mounting, along with all the parts and their weights.

Verify the location of the mounting.

Look at the structure to which you will be mounting, and assess any potential problems.

Look at the structural designs of the room or building to ensure safety.

Review all manufacturer guidelines and drawings.

A structural engineer should review all mounting plans and advise on any difficult situations that you may encounter. When in doubt, always ask for help. If you modify another contractor’s work, you become responsible.

Best Practice to multiply the published design weight by five. If a loudspeaker with mounting hardware weighs 100 lb (45kg), you should use mounting criteria that will handle 500 lb (225kg). Five is the safety factor. The term safety factor is sometimes referred to as design factor, load factor, or safety ratio.

Remember, the weakest point in the assembly is as strong as the entire assembly can be.
